Bridgestone Mexico presents the 6th edition of its annual Sustainability Report on the most important issues related to the company’s sustainability while providing information to stakeholders on its main activities and commitments to sustainability.
The materiality covered in this report is the same as was presented in the last report, with the exception of changes in indicators due to the adoption of the new version of the GRI Standards. It is considered that the materiality is valid for this report because it was conducted in the first half of 2017 and the organization has not changed its business model since then.

The scope of this report includes Bridgestone de México, S.A. de C.V, considering the manufacturing facilities in Cuernavaca, Morelos State; and Bandag, Leon, Guanajuato State.
This document was prepared by complying with the essential compliance option of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) for the preparation of sustainability reports in its Standards version, covering the period from January 1 through December 31, 2017. The 2016 report was published in September 2017. The company prepares and publishes this report once a year. For the third consecutive year, the report was verified by an external assurance consultant and the company plans to maintain this assurance methodology in the years to come.
In contrast to the information published in previous years, no reformulation of data was presented that would change the information published in the past. In addition, although the company publishes a Regional Report that consolidates the most relevant figures of the Bridgestone Latin America North Region, this report focused exclusively on México, so there are no significant changes in the scope and coverage compared to previous years.
Please send your requests for information or your comments about the content of this Sustainability Report to the Bridgestone Latin America North (BS-LAN) Corporate Communications and Social Responsibility Department via email addressed to BS_LAN_Prensa@la-bridgestone.com.
1 Other Stakeholders: Media, consumers, community, authorities, and associations. The company did not conduct an exclusive perception identification strategy; however, it did consider a representative sample for the materiality study.
